Okay folks - I just removed a load of crap from this thread, especially where personal insults are concerned.
I'd just like to remind everyone that the chronicles network has a
Code of Conduct and I expect people to take some time and effort to adhere to it - that means personal insults are not acceptable.
If you can't keep to the
Code of Conduct voluntarily, then it may be enforced regardless, and offending members may find they lost the ability to post on this site.
The chronicles network is a family-friendly site, intended to be a friendly and welcoming community for people to discuss science fiction and fantasy with like-minded others. It is not a place to make personal insults or attacks on other members.
If anyone should feel that they are being personally attacked in some way, then please do PM myself and I'll be happy to look into it.
In the meantime, I'd like to see this thread continue without my having to step in and babysit again.
